The phone I use for work has a sim card. I've never had one of these before. I need to get another phone number so that I can *attempt* to use CL as that is where a lot of massage clients are but I don't want to have to buy another phone, nor do I want to change my work phone number. Is it possible to just buy a sim card and do this? And where would I get one? Does anyone know? The people at fido are useless.

Katlyn...be direct with the boneheads at Fido...
just tell them you want a pay as you go vancouver #...You pay 30 bucks for the sim card and another 20 bucks for the minutes.
Tell them it can be done and you will wait until they figure it out.
It's like dealing with Canadian tire...they don't get paid much so they are lazy
good luck.

You can swap that new SIM card into the phone ... but the phone number is tied to the SIM card so only one phone number can be "on" at a time. The voicemail on the other phone number will still work ... you could check those voice mails from your landline.
You need to have both SIM cards come from the same phone company (FIDO, Rogers) unless you get your phone "unlocked" in which case it will work with any SIM card.
Those pay as you go minutes expire every month or 2 unless you roll them over by buying more minutes. Rogers has a $100 voucher with a 1 year expiry ... very handy if you don't plan on using the phone very much.

Rather than swapping sim cards what about buying another phone. Virgin mobile has cheap phones and cheap rates. You can buy a "pre-loved" phone, as virgin puts it, for $30. They also have one year pay as you go plans.
To be honest though I have never used Virgin as they use the Telus/Bell network which never works in my area.
